There’s no denying that small houses have a quaint and charming feeling of their own. The tiny rooms are full of life, with all your furniture clustered together, making it feel warm and cozy. Even though you often feel overwhelmed with everything littered around, tiny houses are much easier to clean.

However, keeping things organized, finding decorating possibilities can become a glaring issue depending on how little space you have. Furthermore, you can’t even experiment with new home design styles and aesthetics to revamp your Oklahoma home with everything feeling so tight.

Living in a small Oklahoma home is everyone’s dream until you’re stuck living in it for a few years or it’s time to change things up. That’s when most small homeowners regret their purchase and try to find ways to amplify their living spaces with minimal adjustments and renovation.

But fret not! We’re here to help. In our expert opinion, making your small living spaces bigger isn’t about just moving into a bigger home. You need to learn to work with what you have and make other effective adjustments to make your home look bright and open.

If you’re still struggling to find ways to make your quaint Oklahoma home appear bigger than it is, here are some tried and tested tips that might come in handy, making the daunting task easy.

Get cleaning

One of the first things you need to do before moving on to any renovations and home upgrades is cleaning up. A messy home can make the biggest of homes look and feel unpleasant and suffocating.

Whether you have a small house or apartment in Oklahoma, keeping it clean is one of the first steps to better living. So, start scrubbing those nasty old dishes, pick up all the litter, dust your furniture, clean your doors and windows and mop the floors to make all the existing furniture and home décor come to life again.

As busy human beings, we often get tied up in our daily lives and overlook the state of our homes until it gets out of hand. But now that you’re spending time and effort, you’ll instantly notice your home looks much better than when you started.

Stick to neutral tones

Being an essential part of your home’s interior and décor, furniture can make or break the visual appeal. Going with dark tones and color palettes might seem like a good idea when you initially move in, or if you’re going for a dark dungeon, but eventually, you’ll notice how dingy and cold they make your Oklahoma home look.

If you want to keep dark tones around your home, be selective with your placements; go for black steel or iron doors to carry the dark hues around your home coupled with neutral furniture. It’ll create a striking contrast, make your living spaces feel bigger, and give your Oklahoma home a more cohesive look.

In recent years, black steel and iron doors have become a go-to for most people in Oklahoma, and rightfully so, they bring in the sense of luxury and mystery to tiny houses without being too in your face.

Let there be light

The reason our homes and living spaces can feel cluttered and unpleasant is generally a lack of natural light. Adding lamps and bulbs around your tiny Oklahoma home might bring in artificial light but think about the high utility bills, coupled with more spaces taken up by your new lamps.

Getting rid of any heavy drapes on your windows is a simple fix, but it won’t be effective if you have small windows, to begin with. You can replace your old tiny windows with a few steel windows, strategically scattering them around your home for maximum sunlight.

The instant brightness will not only liven up your dingy home but also improve your mental and physical health. You can install giant steel windows in your kitchen, too, for some added ventilation, freshness, and light.

Break down the walls

Now that we’ve covered minute fixes that’ll play up your small home living game, we can focus on more prominent changes that’ll significantly impact your home.

Tiny homes mean tiny rooms and lots of unnecessary walls blocking light and airflow. To really maximize your living spaces and make your Oklahoma home appear bigger, you’ll need to replace the wall with sliding doors or room dividers.

These key features will act as a styling accent while also allowing you to take advantage of all your living spaces without obstructing light or airflow. Sliding doors save space and work well if you’re trying to divide a room without making permanent changes. It offers you the versatility that most tiny homes in Oklahoma lack.

Opt for a dutch front entry door

Living in a small home in Oklahoma, you’re most likely going to ignore your front entryway, curb appeal, and home’s exterior. You might think these things only matter when you live in a big house or are trying to resell your property.

But that’s not true at all; keeping your front entryway looking appealing is just as important as any other part of your home. It’s the first thing your guests see when they walk in, leaving a lasting impression, so you want them to feel welcomed, and your dark solid door isn’t helping your cause.

Replace your front entry door with a dutch door to carry your sleek and elegant style outside too. It’ll make your home look inviting, increase its resale value, open up your home, and create a better living experience for you and your family.
